Pat and Rick have a wonderful place. The place is very cozy, nice neighborhood, and very affordable. Rick was very helpful, and goes out of the way to accommodate. He helped me out with handing my car keys to the transport company after I left. On the whole, I enjoyed the stay there, and I would not think twice to go there again.

Judith, Thank you for your warm and sincere welcome. Our first experience with airbnb was classic. You were a fabulous host. A grand tour of your unique home with interesting history. We appreciated your attention to details; our schedule and sleep arrangements for our family. We all enjoyed your clean home, delightful breakfast, and peaceful neighborhood. It was a joy learning about you and some of your journey. Our stay with you was on a 90 degree day. We were very comfort even though there was no air conditioning. Diana

Words can't describe how outstanding our time was with Judy and at Sanders. Judy was so generous, interesting and attentive. She madme my entire family feel as if we lived there. We were there for Thanksgiving and she went above and beyond and invited us to join them for Thanksgiving dinner. All of that and I didn't even bring up the house. An interesting, beautiful mansion with so many stories and unique features. You always felt safe with private security there as well. My first Airbnb experience could not have gone better. Thank you again Judy!

Impressive home and impressive host. We really enjoyed our stay at Judith's historic home. We had a spacious suite with a beautiful private bath, two closets and a very comfortable king sized bed. Judith was super thoughtful in every way including, offering to pick us up from the airport and making breakfasts that taste good. If you're a fan of the dramatic details featured in historic homes, this will be a treat. Quiet, refined neighborhood off Woodward thoroughfare.

Judith was an awesome host and her home is truly incredible. The neighbourhood, Historic Palmer Woods, is steeped in Detroit history and Judith has so many great stories to share about the city. The house is just off of Woodward, so travelling to the city centre, Ferndale or Royal Oak is super easy (these were where most of travels took us). Judith was also easy to reach during our stay. In short, this is a very unique Detroit experience. Highly recommended.

Cheyanne2015-05-24T00:00:00Z

Judith is a charming host - incredibly welcoming and thoughtful, with so many stories to share. She's very knowledgable about Detroit, the history of the mansion and the neighborhood. Our group only wished we had more time to spend talking with her and learning more from her experiences. The Sanders Mansion is a beautiful, historic residence, with just as much character as its host. We could have spent the entire weekend just exploring all that the mansion had to offer. The rooms are large and comfortable. We couldn't have imagined a better place to stay for the weekend and highly recommend it!

Ryan2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

Judith was very warm and welcoming. Sometimes at B&Bs you feel like your intruding or really should not be there. Not the case with Judith and the Sanders Mansion. She greeted us at the door, showed us around the house (14,000sf) and then took us to our room. Our room was large with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was also large with original fixtures and good water pressure. We took long showers and the water was always hot. Breakfast was always good and varied everyday. Half way through our stay of 5 days the sheets were changed and we were given a fresh load of towels. My wife and I enjoyed walking through the neighborhood and seeing all the majestic old homes. If you are looking for the flavor and feel of old Detroit I would recommend staying at the Sanders Mansion.

Stephen2016-10-17T00:00:00Z

Judy is a terrific, gracious, and thoughtful hostess. She chose to show us around Detroit including a stop at the Fisher Tower. I'm glad to have met Judy and I hands down recommend staying in her beautifully appointed home.

This place is AWESOME! Great get-away to decompress and relax. Very clean, nicely decorated, awesome rooms and food! And on top of it, an amazing outdoor pool!

Bonnie2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

What a beautiful bed and breakfast, with a wonderful host and all around wonderful experience. When you pull up to this very cute, private house you know you are in for a wonderful treat! The room was perfect, the food delicious and Jan couldn't be more sweet - she will do anything to make your stay perfect. Enjoy!

Where do I start. This home is a fantastic mansion, built in 1927. It is like being in a museum. It is opulent. Judith is a wonderful hostess. She made the best French toast I've ever had. The neighborhood is wonderful and safe. It's a great place to stay if you are going to the burbs, or downtown. Do yourself a favor...pick this one, you won't be dissapointed.

Close to the Oakland Pontiac Airport and Huron Valley DMC Hospital. It has great views of Union Lake. You’ll love it because of the close proximity to the widely acclaimed restaurant, "A Matter of Taste." It is accessible by boat (yours) or walking distance. The boat launch and Dairy Queen are within walking distance as well. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families (with kids). Some beauty shop services are available by a licensed professional.

This house has accommodations for more people. There is a king size bed in the Master Bedroom and a double bed in another upstairs bedroom. There are room for more people in other rooms of the house in the form of air mattresses or couch. Each additional bed that is activated is another $50.

The description was pretty accurate. The neighborhood was beautiful and so was the view. The host was nice and accommodating.

Good location, well worth the money i spent. highly recommend for those who need an overnight stay

Yuyao2016-11-15T00:00:00Z

Tommie has a great personality. The house is in a great location to downtown, food, and public transportation. It's a no frills, mattress on the floor accommodation. A place to lay your head after a long day.

James2017-04-14T00:00:00Z

The location was great as I really wanted to go to the Motown Museum and it's right across the street. The free parking behind the house was also great. The room was really basic with a mattress on the floor and no lock on the bedroom door. I did not feel very comfortable with the fact that o couldn't lock the door, even from the inside. I was glad to have my car to keep any valuables in. I wouldn't stay here again.

Tommie was a great host, the room was exactly what we needed! Thanks for hosting

The picture doesn't shows The indoor decoration. It is Very messy. There is almost nothing in The living room except a bed. The most terrible thing is that the host entered my room twice without notifying me When I was sleeping.

Black Bottom Project CDC Executive Summery
BACKGROUND:
Detroit has for decades declined in social, education and economic prosperity. With the loss of the middle class, Detroit schools have lost the funding to produce quality students to feed colleges and universities. The Black Bottom Project CDC (BBP) was created to help solve the problems of economic disparity and social destruction of our communities.
FINDINGS:
After studying the needs of intercity Detroit the BBP has developed a plan to re-energize the community with arts and science. The plan includes a Black Bottom Village (BBV) to anchor the community with entertainment and education. This includes building a Motown Entertainment District along Grand Boulevard from Grand River to the Chrysler freeway as an economic engine to the surrounding communities.
SOLUTIONS:
Our plans stared in 2014 when we purchased three blighted homes across the street from Northwestern High School and stared rehab to remove the visual scars our children viewed going and coming from school. We plan to replace blight with light with an Black Bottom econmic incubation Center, Cyber Cafe, Hour of Code Hub, Degital Media Labs, Art Gallery , Production Studio, Village Garden, tutors, mentors, and university workstudy students housing. We will offer art, music and science workshops to our youth in an safe environment.
We will inspire our community with village facilities like; the Black Bottom Bike Shop, Detroit Live Digital Media Studio, Black Bottom Coding Hub, Fuller Berry Gordy Art Gallery, Jackie Willson Studio, BG's Hotspot, Rick and Teena Fire and Desire lounge, Ana Gaye and Gwen Fuqua Ball Room, Marvin Gaye, David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Michael Jackson , Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson Suites. Our goal is to bring together all the stakeholders in our communities to build a unique experience that is truly Detroit, while improving our communities and schools.
NEED:
Now, we have began our journey to fulfill the needs of our children and community with modern technological tools. We are asking for your support and thank in advance for your donations patronage .
Joeleo Smith, Director Black Bottom Project CDC

Nice stay overall for a first time in Detroit. Stayed there for an extended weekend and the place was clean, Rick was very helpful and friendly, making sure everything was ok for us at any time. The place though looks completely abandoned, the area is not very nice, lots of abandoned buildings so doesn't look super safe. Minimal furnishing (we were 4 people and there is only a table with two chairs, the other people had to eat on the couch or outside). Free laundry and dryer was a plus. Comfy bed. Enough if you are on a budget and just here to sleep just like me. Next time I will pay more attention and more money to book something closer to the centre (you have surges in taxi prices which makes you lose the money you thought you would be saving).

Lara2017-05-30T00:00:00Z

The attic rooms are hot in the summer. Request a fan or ac. It's a good deal and the house has beautiful bones. but its a budget choice.

There are outdoor gathering spaces for eating, meeting or solitude, WIFI accessible in some areas. Our little backyard park boasts fire pits, for romantic and group fun.
Our lovely Community Garden is next to our outdoor lecture space under the Wisdom Tree; it is a lovely place to sit and enjoy! We consciously advocate a Community of Compassion in the gathering, and hosting of Local folks, Mom and Dad, Grandparents, to Local and world Activists, Missionaries, Journalists, Educators, Students; Actors, Videographers and Film-makers, national/international Politicians, Tekies, Trekies /Sci Fi heads (like me!), Radioheads, Hip Hop Fam, Environmentalists, Children, Youth- accompanied by adults of course- who make their way to this Soulful place of peace in the D!

In the Johnny Wright Hall on the lower level, we also offer sleeping bag spaces/crash space or bunk room style space with a large double bathroom for multi access, including shower. We are open to work with groups of activists on budgets, just dash us a note online.
In addition to our B&B, The Hush House Black Community Museum and Residence and The Simmons Leadership Center of Peace and Justice Studies facilities are cornerstones of our unique Community of Compassion and Territory of Refuge and they are all on the same street!.
We have additional group and private and shared spaces available in The Simmons Leadership Center of Peace and Justice Studies where we cater to longer visits, usually a week or more and exclusive private rooms in The Hush House Museum Residence, also on the same grounds. All prefect spaces for Conference planners, facilitators and attendees of such conferences as the Allied Media Conference, The 2015 Lutheran Conference Participants, individual and group bookings welcome, look for our listings on AirBnB!

We love the history of our working class community: the fact that the Historic King Solomon Baptist Church is behind us, where Martin Luther King first gave what became known as the "I have a Dream Speech" and where Malcolm X recorded some of his most important speeches: "Message to the Grassroots," The Ballot or the Bullet," and the actual chairs and the dais are available for pictures! Mama Sandra is the first woman minister n the church's 80 year history! We love that working folks, hardly working, middle class to executives sit down at the same tables to have conversations at the Museum on how we can and will evolve our humanity by learning and practicing methods and teachings of Compassion that we evolve through our local/global practices of growing ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren.
This is a space where being human means learning to love and respect our collective experience and being open to learning and remembering how to "walk together"! We teach and share these Soul Skills through some of the most creative and innovative methods that draw people from around the world. To date, we have hosted guests from up the street, and throughout the state, and nationally-too many to list here! Africa: Senegal, Egypt, Tanzania, Kenya, Namibia, Uganda, Ghana, Nigeria, Liberia, South Africa; Europe: France, Germany, Poland, Finland, Sweden; Caribbean: Haiti, Puerto Rico; South America: Brazil; Asia: Japan, China, Korea; The Middle East: Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Yemen, Israel.
While our neighborhood is undergoing a massive gentrification effort, a transition that we have had the opportunity to share through ethnography, news articles through HYMM: Hush Your Mouth Multi- Media, in documentaries (see: Harvard Visits The Hush House [a Sundance Award Winner] and In The Belly of The Beast, on YouTube) and we are very proud of our replicable and sustainable, hands on practical applications of building community in the midst of great stress and opposition. We are open to share this history of challenge, change and collaboration through ongoing opportunities for urban planners, activists, journalists, filmmakers, videographers, bloggers and educators of many fields from the US and abroad to consider, discuss and share their thoughts and practices that will help working class and hardly working class to survive such massive disruptions to community life, while we re-imagine and build what intentional Compassionate Community Building can mean across social strata and a world that includes all people.
Imagine, on top of all this, because we are in the Heart of Midtown we are in the middle of everything where a walk, bike ride, bus lines even train and national bus stations are less than 10 minutes away: Comerica Park, All Museums, Medical Centers-Hospitals, Top restaurants, and the indomitable St Regis Hotel! and iconic Motown are a short walk away! Come and experience the D from the inside, a rare and wonderful journey because we care!

Everything was amazing and peaceful. I was welcomed on my arrival with a detailed package and instructions on places to go eat with my friend that night. The room and breakfast area was so inviting. Mama Sandra gave me a tour of the black history museum, the gift shop and other places. I felt completely at home during my stay. The accommodations were neat, clean, orderly, plus had all that I needed. The bathroom was equipped with toiletries, soap and more. I was able to get the most restful sleep during my vacation there. I want to stay here on my next visit to Detroit.

Elmira2016-06-11T00:00:00Z

A really good experience and an example of community creativity and hospitality at its best. If you want to see what Detroit is really about this is a great way to do it.

Fred2016-06-01T00:00:00Z

I cannot recommend staying with Mama Sandra and Baba Charles enough! My time here was full of warmth, hospitality, and spirit. They are both full of knowledge and wisdom and are amazing tools for helping visitors know more about Detroit.

Paige2015-06-23T00:00:00Z

What a lovely place to stay. The true indomitable spirit of Detroit lives on here. Mama Sandra & Baba Charles are the consummate hosts with so much wisdom and history to share. The rooms are spotless and comfortable. Just around the corner from Motown Museum and in historic midtown anyone looking for an authentic Detroit experience should look no further. I for one will be staying I hope many times more on my annual pilgrimage to the Motor City.

Aneurin2015-05-27T00:00:00Z

I had such a wonderful experience staying at TruDSoul International B&B. Mama Sandra and Baba Charles were gracious hosts, who offered so much advice. This spot was perfect for my month-long stay in Detroit. I was close to so many cool locations. I was able to walk to New Center, WSU, and downtown.

Candace2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

I was overall pleased to stay at this place. Even though my stay was short I felt like I would definitely come back here. It also has great roots and history that can be appreciated.

Peter2016-10-16T00:00:00Z

I loved staying with Mama Sandra and Baba Charles. The home has beautiful art throughout. They checked in and made me feel welcome. I only stayed for one night but would definitely go back.

My place is close to great views, restaurants and dining, nightlife, and family-friendly activities. You’ll love my place because of the high ceilings, the location, the coziness, the people, and the views. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), and big groups.

This place isn't anything private or particularly nice but for the price, parking spot, and location it worked really well! There was a communal kitchen and bathroom. The other guests staying were friendly and Tommie was polite and offered to assist any way he could.

Taylor2016-04-25T00:00:00Z

Tommie was great with giving directions to his place. When I arrived he was on hand to show me my room and house. He was nice to buy croissants for me to eat for breakfast. I really enjoyed staying at Tommie's, I loved the house and it was in a great location for me to go to the Detroit Jazz Festival. I would recommend a stay at Tommie's place as he is a friendly host and staying there for me has been a unique experience I would not have been able to experience in a regular hotel.

Joeleo and team were great hosts! They were extremely communicative and wanted me to be comfortable. The highlight of this property is that it is constantly being renovated which helps support young people in the neighborhood learn skills (like coding, carpentry, etc). It's very much a work in process and is very exciting! This space is perfect for someone who just needs a place to rest their heads after exploring the town. Request a room in the lower sections of house where wifi signal is perhaps a bit stronger.

Marcus2017-07-31T00:00:00Z

In one of the buildings, a nonprofit organization created by Joeleo is teaching teenagers how to code. They have many people from different backgrounds working there, including a professional Chef. The place is very safe, clean, and located less than 2 miles from Midtown and New Center. They have the amenities described in the website (Wifi, TV, microwave, refrigerator, bed linen, and etc) plus wash and dry machine. Interesting place for backpackers who need to take a break to rest and work with a computer instead of partying. Good Luck with your revitalization project!!

The Simmons Leadership Center for Social Justice Studies was conceived of as a space where people could share the space as family, a large family whose work and passion is inspired by each other. It has been a place where good people network, brainstorm, share, care, find understanding and solutions!
Shared room with a twin bed with real mattresses, very comfy. Locked room and access to locked storage, if needed. Work and eating space. A full kitchen, Shared Bathroom and a toilet/sink in the basement for the hardy.

My friend and I had a beautiful stay with Baba Charles. Along with Baba Charles' hospitality, the house was neat and filled with a love that made us feel at home.

Kal2016-01-02T00:00:00Z

This was a warm home away from home, with a comfy bed and the use of a kitchen (and a blender to make my morning smoothy, which they kindly provided). I loved the different posters, and the experience of being connected to the Hush House, and its history in the movement. My only regret is that I did not have more time to spend with Mama Sandra and Baba Charles, and see the Museum, to learn more.
